Pokémon GO “Steely Resolve” Event Brings Corviknight and More!
The Pokémon GO “Steely Resolve” event, running from January 21st to 26th, marks the highly anticipated debut of Rookidee, Corvisquire, and Corviknight! This addition significantly expands the game's Galar region Pokémon roster.
The arrival of Corviknight was initially teased in December 2024's Dual Destiny Season loading screen, sparking much speculation amongst players. Now, the wait is over.
